	Description:		Dai Hankey is the leader of the Red Community, a Christian charity that seeks to combat human trafficking in Wales. We’ll hear about the issue of modern-day slavery, and the charity’s Embrace project which offers practical help to survivors. For the past four years he’s also run Manumit, a coffee roasting company that employs people who have suffered from exploitation but are now rebuilding their lives. Dai has always worked with people on the margins: often young offenders and those with drug addictions. He’s been a DJ, a skateboarder and a rapper, and he’s a spoken word poet who brings a raw frankness to the way he communicates his message. He’s involved in planting new churches, beginning in Trevethin, one of the most deprived areas of Pontypool, the borough where he grew up. He moved here in 2007 with his wife and young family, and here they welcomed worshippers into their living room until they found a church building. It was a model he followed nine years later when they moved to Splott in Cardiff, to establish the Redeemer church which he currently leads.
